Description

[0002] Creatine monohydrate is a naturally occurring nitrogen-containing organic acid in vertebrates, mainly distributed in skeletal muscle and brain tissue, which can accelerate ATP regeneration by increasing phosphocreatine levels, thereby enhancing muscle explosive strength, delaying fatigue, and promoting muscle growth. It is widely used in sports nutrition, medicine, health products, food additives, etc. fields, especially for high-intensity sports groups (such as weightlifting, sprint athletes) and muscle atrophy in the elderly.

The method of claim 8, wherein, In step (1), after adding the sarcosine conversion enzyme to the reaction system for reaction, the reaction system is cooled to below 10°C, centrifugation is performed, the sarcosine conversion enzyme and other impurities are separated, and the supernatant is taken. Preferably, 4000-4500 kg of chloroform is added to the conversion liquid prepared in step (2), and then centrifugation is performed under the conditions of 8000 x g and 15 min, the organic phase chloroform layer is removed, the water phase is collected, and the water phase is concentrated to precipitate creatine monohydrate.

10. The method according to any one of claims 1-9 for use in preparing creatine monohydrate or a product containing creatine monohydrate.
